Who we are

First Baptist Church of Clayton is organized for the purpose of advancing and promoting the worship of God. We believe this is best achieved through the reading and study of the Bible as the revealed Word of God, and the teaching and preaching of the Gospel of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
